In Nintendo’s latest financial results they shared software and hardware sales for the Nintendo Switch. They shared Zelda: Tears of The Kingdom sold over 18 million units and Pokemon Scarlet & Violet sold over 22 million. Nintendo shared the launch schedule of primary Nintendo products by region for the rest of the year and 2024.
The games shown are Pikmin 4, Detective Pikachu Returns, Super Mario Bros. Wonder, WarioWare: Move It!, Super Mario RPG, Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon (temp.), Princess Peach will star as the main character in a brand new game (temp), and Metroid Prime 4 (temp.).
Where the chart says ‘Launch Date’ Metroid Prime 4 is listed as “TBA” meaning To Be Announced. This doesn’t tell us too much, but it means the next entry into the Metroid Prime series is still in the cards for Nintendo.
Metroid Prime 4 was announced during E3 2017 with a small tease and in 2019 the entire game was restarted with Retro Studios taking over development. With Nintendo reportedly releasing their next console toward the end of 2024 could the company be waiting to release Metroid Prime 4 until then?
It remains to be seen when we’ll see anything regarding the next entry of the Metroid Prime series.
